While the treasury secretary has said before that some of the tariffs on Chinese goods hurt America more than they hurt China (see 2107190046), and the U.S. trade representative has defended them, the White House has now said that the administration's review of its China trade policy is taking inflation into account.

With negotiations expected to begin in earnest soon on the House and Senate's trade packages, staffers in both chambers of Congress say there could be support for antidumping and countervailing duty reform and language around Section 301 tariff exclusions, but the likelihood of a dramatic de minimis change seems somewhat remote.

Functionality for five reinstated Section 301 exclusions in ACE will not be available until April 26, CBP said in a CSMS message. Due to an error in programming, ACE is still not permitting the filing of Chapter 99 duty or exclusion subheadings for tariff schedule numbers 0505.10.0050, 8412.21.0045, 8483.50.9040, 8525.60.1010 and 8607.21.1000, CBP said. Importers that entered goods subject to Section 301 tariffs under those five subheadings on or after April 12 without an associated Chapter 99 Section 301 subheading should file a post-summary correction once ACE filing capabilities are restored for the subheadings April 26, CBP said.

Importers do not need to file protests as a prerequisite for gaining refunds on excluded Section 301 duties, Environment One Corporation said in a complaint filed April 15 with the Court of International Trade. The complaint asks the court to order refunds of Section 301 duties on entries that were "ordered retroactively excluded" from the China 301 duties and to declare the government's requirement that importers seek refunds via protest to be in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act and the Protest Statute itself.
